Title: Register to vote
Post by: albie on November 24, 2019, 11:27:20 pm

Last call to register, before the cut-off on the 26th;
https://www.gov.uk/register-to-vote

Whichever party you support, please do register.

Remember the right to vote was very dearly won.
An earlier generation made great efforts to make sure you could vote.

I personally think it should be mandatory to vote, people I know clearly moan about anything and everything but don't vote so how can they really say anything when they haven't contributed to who has been elected.

Then again a lot of it could be to do with keeping their promises...
